Hey, look at this this way, at least Snout is left alone and now will have his own agency in the story! ... I don't expect it to last long, lol

He's going to stand up and hit his head on a billboard that reads: "Snout, The Ink Cop and Kung Foo Mookie are taking Orc Mookie and I, the Ink Waifu, to Ink Witch City so I can stand trial for petty larceny and abuse and Orc Mookie is a key witness. Please don't follow us as these charges are justified. Signed, The Ink Witch." And Snout will immediately follow, tip over a fruit stand or something while trying to comprehend how to buy food with his library card, and accidentally cause a jailbreak.

In related news, today's retrospective page of Octopus Pie is a masterclass on communicating emotion without dialogue. You might need some context to get it, but you can see on the main character's face the hurt and isolation she feels, as her ex's oblivious, unimportant babbling drones on. Culminating in an outburst of emotion she can't control with absolutely perfect representative imagery of her lizard brain approving. Is it any wonder Meredith Gran teaches comic making at an art school? Oh, also, her upcoming game looks amazing.

Thanks for reminding me to start checking on OP reruns so I can binge the whole thing again once the retrospective finishes.

Was there a reason she splashed him specifically or was it just her lizard brain lashing out at the nearest thing?

Without context it looks like he casually dropped a friend / family member / someone she cared about got married and that person didn't invite her to the wedding. So sheer, soul-crushing anguish at his treating it like something she would have been irritated by having to attend when she wasn't even given the opportunity.

He was also completely oblivious to the fact that she was obviously upset.

Who What Now posted:Was there a reason she splashed him specifically or was it just her lizard brain lashing out at the nearest thing? He's her ex that she's had an on-again, off-again relationship with since childhood, that she thinks knows her better than anyone. He's visiting in from out of town after having been gone for a few years, and the first thing they do is gently caress like both of them couldn't wait another minute. Now, a little while later, after a bunch of small warning signs that he's changed as a person and doesn't know her anymore, he causally reveals - without realizing how much it it would hurt her, and without noticing her obvious pain because he's staring at his phone - that he's actually been in town for more than a week, and he's there for a wedding of one of their mutual childhood friends (that she didn't know about and wasn't invited to). So he essentially treated her as a booty call at the tail end of his trip and didn't realize how much of a dickbag he was being. And, given all that, her lizardbrain says "yeah, gently caress it, throw that drink."

I know we are firmly in "chosen narrative" that Mookie is going to force territory. But those aren't friends Snout you stupid loving moron. You've know both of them less than a week.

"That Mean Guy" is also just such an incredibly weird way of phrasing it. Like they all know he's mean, not because of anything else they could say about him, but because he's mean. I found it hard to believe that the author really has no theory of mind for his characters but I've come to believe it.

If he wasn't obviously mean and terrible, how could he be the villain? says the guy who prides himself on hosting a "writing memorable villains" speech at cons

Who is he crossing out that word for if not the benefit of the audience? Like the other stuff could theoretically have been diary entries, but I cannot imagine any way you can possibly parse this strip without assuming there is an audience and that Snout is aware of it and doing some things for their benefit.

He's looking at what he wrote and gets angry at himself for giving up and erases it as an act of defiance. The real question is why he wrote it to begin with.

It could have been interesting if Snout could read lips, mainly because people would be able to intentionally deceive him by hiding their mouths. Because he deserves it.

Something about an actual lizard brain giving a thumbs up makes me appreciate this a lot.

Talking about Disco Elysum in the same thread as anything 'written' by Mookie is offensive.

Another page that repeats and summarizes again what the reader already knows. Mookie does that a lot. Anyway, Let’s talk a personal irritation. Snout is at a open air restaurant, with a drink, which implies he ordered from there while writing all the words. Remember when Snout didn’t know what money was and had to have Mom Witch provide.

So I guess Snout just had an eidetic memory. Thank goodness the issue of him losing his diary didn't last more than a page. That would have been to much drama and adversity for poor Snout

I'm glad that our hero overcame the challenge of having his diary erased through the valiant struggle of remembering a few key facts.
